The word bigot itself is not derogatory. YOU the one who deem it offensive.

If you call someone a name and they find it offensive that makes the word derogatory because the definition of derogatory is showing a critical or
DISRESPECTFUL attitude. You really need a dictionary pal.

big·ot
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

How is that offensive?

Because if you call someone a bigot and that definition does NOT apply to them then it's offensive. Some people find the word ghetto offensive, if
you call someone ghetto...and they are NOT ghetto then they would find that offensive.

Wow that is impressive. So if we can all outright determine that pedophilia is wrong without question and without debate...then why is it harder to
determine whether it's wrong or right to be homosexual? Just to be clear we agree that an adult having sexual relations with a child is wrong, yes?
Yet we can't agree on whether members of the same gender having sexual relations is right or wrong? Aren't they both outside of the "norm"? Yet
one act is justified while the other is not......why??

Bigotry is a state of mind where a person obstinately, irrationally, unfairly or intolerantly dislikes other people, ideas, etc.[1][2] Some examples
include personal beliefs, race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other group
characteristics.

You are making claims about the gay population by saying there is an agenda, by saying they are perverting children by being open about it, you are
saying what they are doing is unnatural based on your ideals...etc
